“You Have a Name” p:173


AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel Tuesday 13 Kislev 5772 

Page 173/קעג about a third from the of the page – (line starts, 'she haray hu...') For text, see picture below.

We have been looking at how the soul is in the body. It is there is an essential presence that cannot be interrupted. This is compared to its presence as thought and speech...

coming back to our discussion of the 'name'. . . we had the verse, 'till the world was made, there was only He and His name...' The aspect of 'name' at any level is union and cleaving to essence...


For this reason it is of the element tzurah atzmis – essential form.

Light/name, wherever it is identified, has the transcendent quality of being unified with essence.

The point is that the light we have in the world,  remains pointing to one reality.  There is one reality at any level.  The whole physical world is the G-dly light - ohr eloki.   The physicality is just concealing the truth of what it is.  But it is not concealed from our intellect.  There we still recognize the real truth - there is One Maker of all.
